Goliath,the rock star and getting rich quick
monkeyman:
Despite another loser being added to the ever lengthening list, I"ll try again tomorrow more in hope than expectation. The 4.55 at Southwell is typical of mile and a half races at that track; short of both numbers and quality. I"ve taken a price of 10 regarding Captain Sharpe and fully expect a decent run for my money. Equating jumps form with flat is always fraught with danger, but the selection has been running well of late over hurdles and could well be a little better than the rating of 55 he runs off here.
Tomorrow night will be my only opportunity for any poker this side of the weekend. Tonight I had to type-up an interview I recorded yesterday and I"m out every night from wednesday to friday. No doubt the poker gods will take pity on me due to my lack of available time and make every race a winning one.

So, I return home after an evening watching Rhod Gilbert in a 300 seat theatre and find the APAt league is going to be way deeper and move to Pokerstars. Yeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The East will rise again

Another night out and another pokerless 24 hours. I"m beginning to go cold turkey and fear I may do something really silly, like opening an Omaha hi/lo cash table when I crawl home in the early hours of saturday morning.
Its not as if I can seek solace in my horse predicting skills as I"ve added another loser to the sequence today. Never mind, there"s loads of juicy racing tomorrow and here for your amusement is where my miniscule investments are going (Betfair odds taken in brackets):
Fakenham 2.35 Black Dragon(26.94) - Probably the most competitive novice hurdle I"ve ever seen run round Fakenham. Black Dragon carries less weight than his rivals due to being a 4 year old and is also aided by the 5 pound claim of the talented Matt Crawley. His last 2 runs have been very impressive and as I believe he is the pick of the weights, the price I"ve taken is generous in the extreme
3.05 Fakenham Gorge (12) . An intriguing race, but most of the runners are eiter out of form or stepping up in trip. Only just got the better of Vincitore, who reopposes, last time, but I"m expecting another victory.
3.40 Fakenham Legendary Hop (11.5). Unlike some of her competitors definitely stays the trip and seems to be making her handicap debut on a lenient mark.
Wolverhampton 5.45 - War of the roses (5.1). Only 2 horses worthy of serious consideration and as this beast has won off considerably higher marks, making it the selection is a no brainer at the price
Wolverhampton 6.15 - Queen of Denmark (1.79). Unoriginal I know and a very short price, but looked impressive when beating the progressive Mazij last time and should win comfortably. I don"t normally like betting odds-on, but in this case the price I"ve taken is value. Boa is rock-solid over course and distance, but will probably be 4 - 5 pounds lower when next winning.

Oh crikey, this is getting embarassing. Its not so much that none of today"s selections that have run so far have won, but they were all thoroughly slaughtered. There"s only an odds-on shot at 6.15 to save me. Whoops

FFS, even the odds-on shot got beaten. At times like this, beer is the only answer
